Abstract A procedure for solving compositional model equations is described. The procedure is based on the Newton-Raphson iteration method. The equations and unknowns in the algorithm are ordered in such a way that different fluid property correlations can be accommodated readily. Three different correlations have been implemented with the method. These include simplified correlations as well as a Redlich-Kwong equation of state (EOS). The example problems considered are (1) a conventional waterflood problem, (2) displacement of oil by CO2, and (3) the displacement of a gas condensate by nitrogen. These examples illustrate the utility of the different fluid-property correlations. The computing times reported are at least as low as for other methods that are specialized for a narrower class of problems.
